There was a gambler named Sun in the east of the city. He owed a lot of debt to the Qian family. In order to repay the debt, he sold his sixteen-year-old daughter to the Qian family to marry Mr. Qian in the underworld.
It is said that Miss Sun was nailed alive in the coffin. When she got married, many people heard the cries in the coffin.
But the Qian family was so wealthy that no one dared to offend her. However, the government took the money from the Qian family and ignored the matter, and the girl died tragically.
On the seventh day after the ghost wedding, Fengdu City began to be haunted. Miss Sun's cries could always be heard in the middle of the night. Not long after, the entire Qian family was wiped out, and each one of them died in a miserable state.
And it is said that there is still a blood letter on the wall, saying that the people of Fengdu will have no peace.
From then on, men in the city would always disappear for no reason. Some people said it was Miss Sun's ghost who was causing trouble. Some people asked a magician to do it, but it was of no use.
Gradually, people in Fengdu City are dying and running away, and only we old, weak and sick are left here, and this city has become an empty city."
After hearing what the old woman said, Xiao Chengyi's face darkened, and he asked: "What about the Yuhuo Palace? What's going on?"
The old woman replied: "Not long after Fengdu was haunted, the Fire Palace appeared. They took in homeless women, saying they wanted to seek justice for Miss Sun who died in vain.
They haven't done anything bad since they came here. Even if someone passes by Fengdu, the people in the city will take them away unconscious.
The Holy Envoy said that he will not harm them, but he just doesn’t want the government officials to know about their existence in the Palace of Fire."
Xiao Chengyi felt something strange. Fengdu was haunted and then the Yuhuo Palace appeared. Moreover, all the passers-by disappeared without a trace. Where did they go?
He narrowed his eyes and asked again: "I wonder where it is outside Fengdu City?"
The old woman said: "Outside the city is Cangya Mountain. I heard that Miss Sun was buried there. Therefore, it is the source of evil spirits, and no one dares to go near it."
Xiao Chengyi raised his eyebrows: "Is it the source of evil spirits?"
He sneered: "Then I would like to see you."
With that said, he said to the old woman: "Grandma, I know what is going on with Feng's haunting. You can rest assured that as long as your son is still alive, I will definitely rescue him."
The old woman was overjoyed when she heard this. She hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xiao Chengyi helped her up and said: "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. If people from Yuhuo Palace come to find us, just say that we have left. You don't need to say anything else."
The old woman agreed, and Xiao Chengyi said to Wen Qiyu and Mu Yun'an: "Let's go."
They said goodbye to the old woman and went out.
It was already very dark outside, and even the lanterns were blown out by the wind.
Mu Yun'an was wrapped in a cloak, holding back the tingling feeling in her heart, and asked Xiao Chengyi: "Brother Yi, where are we going?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "Leave the city first. The Yuhuo Palace has intercepted the Holy Envoy. We must have been exposed. This is their territory. We cannot go head-on."
They had just arrived in Fengdu and had not yet figured out the details of Fengdu. It was dark now, and they did not know what dangers they would encounter if they stayed here. They could only wait until dawn tomorrow to explore again.
Everyone had no doubts and followed Xiao Chengyi out of the city first.
They settled in a mountain forest a few miles away from Fengdu City, lit a fire, and prepared to spend the night here.
Qingying shot two hares and was cleaning them up. Mu Yunan sat next to Xiao Chengyi. She asked curiously: "Grandma told me the whole story about how Fengdu is haunted. Brother Yi, did you hear anything?"
Xiao Chengyi did not reply to his words, and asked Wen Qiyu, "Did you hear anything?"
